Question

Expand the following 4/5(20x-10)

Answer 1

a(b+c)=ab+ac
4/5(20x-10)=
Answer:
16x - 8

Answer 2

16x-8

Explanation:

We are given that
`(4)/(5)(20x-10)`

We have to expand the given expression

In order to expand the expression we will use distributive property)

Distributive property:
`a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c`

Using distributive property, then we get

`(4)/(5)(20x-10)=(4)/(5)\cdot (20x)-(4)/(5)(10)`

`(4)/(5)(20x-10)=16x-8`

Hence,
`(4)/(5)(20x-10)=16x-8`
